Presents an obituary for Ellis Paul Torrance, who passed away on July, 12, 2003, after almost 60 years of research in creativity. Known as the "Father of Creativity," Paul legitimized its study with his development of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). This battery of standardized tests, now translated into 32 languages, provided evidence that creative potential could be quantified and increased with practice. Since their development, the TTCT have been used in over 2,000 research studies, thus demonstrating Paul's influence on creativity research in the fields of psychology and education.
